5 Conclusion

The Samyang 14mm F2.8 is a cheap (300 euros) wide angle lens with a big aperture

You need to close down to F4 to get good to very good results , F2.8 being a little bit soft

There are lot optical issues like a moustache distorsion, heavy lens fall off, but Lightroom lens profile helps to correct this in a second. The lens is also quite big on a A7

Is is worth taking the AF version : Samyang 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC , costing 2 times more? Not really for me as optical performance in term of sharpness are roughly the same and AF is not so useful with such a big depth of field

So for occasional usage the Samyang 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC has good performance/price ratio
